Seasoned Air Fryer Frozen Broccoli
When cooking frozen vegetables, the first question I always ask myself is, “Is this going to taste as good as it would if I used fresh?” The answer to that question, in this case, is yes! That’s actually one of my very favorite things about the air fryer! It makes just about any food (including leftovers) taste fresh! This broccoli is no exception. When cooked in the air fryer, vegetables come out to a roasted perfection. Just like if you cooked them in your oven! When it’s done cooking I like to season it with olive oil and salt and pepper. You can make this as crispy as you like by adding a minute or two onto the time! So go ahead and grab those broccoli florets out of the freezer and cook them up. Microwave them no more because the air fryer is so much better!

How to Cook Frozen Broccoli in the Air Fryer
If you don’t have an air fryer yet, reheating frozen foods and leftovers is my number one reason to get one! Air fryer recipes are the best. They make your food taste so fresh and delicious!
Don’t overcrowd the basket: The most important rule (in my opinion) is that you don’t try to fill the air fryer’s basket up with too much food at once. When you overfill the basket and your food is all touching then it doesn’t cook evenly. Make sure it’s in a single layer. The parts that touch will remain soggy and you won’t get that delicious and crisp edge that the air fryer is known for!Shake, shake, shake: Give the basket a good shake throughout the cooking process! This helps to cook and brown the food more evenly.Easy Cleanup Tips: Use parchment paper or foil to line the basket if you want to make clean up easy. Also, be sure to clean the air fryer if there is a lot of residue from the food left behind. This helps to prevent the food from taking on other flavors.
